January 24, 1986|The Morning Call

Dr. Edmund K. Lindemuth will retire today after nearly two decades as head of the Bucks County Health Department.

The 60-year-old physician, who held the position as the Health Department's medical director, said in his letter of resignation that he believes the agency has grown to be a vigorous protector of the public health in Bucks County.

"It is with mixed feelings of sadness and fulfillment that I take leave of my county government role in county health, however I can assure you that Bucks County is a better and safer place in which to live because of its splendid programs in public health," Lindemuth wrote in a letter to Commissioner Carl F. Fonash.

Lindemuth had the distinction of being the highest-paid non-elected official in Bucks County government. He earned $53,500 a year.

Fonash said the administration expects to begin a search soon to find a replacement.
